Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

Getting butthurt over the content of a game is silly if you're going to play the game anyway. Avoid if it doesn't sound like your bag. I've been told I've missed out on a ton of good games because I hate, hate anything done in Japanese anime style-- but I don't care. I will continue to avoid that shit because I'd rather shake hands with a parking enforcement officer before watching or playing anything remotely resembling Japanese anime or manga made after what I grew up watching as a kid.

fpichardom: Crazy stuff. Because of all buys I have made in this GOG sale my bank blocked my card. I had to call them to be able to buy Tales of Monkey Island. I thought I wouldn't be able to buy it on time.
Well, that is one thing about this sale I don't like. I like to bundle up games in once transaction if at all possible to avoid this kind of entanglement. :/

jackster79: I am, but will have to save it until I beat it once myself - do not want to ruin the ending (not that I expect one, but not knowing it will help keep the motivation there).
Heh. Then just don't watch the last episode ^_^

shadowbaneaxe: When exactly do you get to the new levels in Thief Gold?

I did buy it, but I've only played the original. Wondering how much of it I'll have to play again to get to see the new stuff.

Ungunbu: there's a new level early in the game
it's mission 4 or 5 if i'm not wrong
Thanks for the info. I + repped you :p
You know I tried leaving this sale thinking well I could get the game on black friday sale, but I keep coming back in hope I might get Tomb Raider Trilogy.
I guess everyone already owns Tales of Monkey Island, because there'd be no other explanation for it not being sold out within a couple seconds otherwise.

Ona an (almost) unrelated note, what did I miss? I had to go while Anvil of Dawn was on.
high rated

Ungunbu: and my rep continues to go down
What if it's somehow related to the things you say... like some kind of feedback mechanism, perhaps?
Doesn't the sale say up to 80% off? Yet Tales is 85% off?

ShadowWulfe: DS was actually fairly good if you ignored the in-between missions part. I don't know what possessed them to make the guards so hyperexciteable.
Sounds kinky.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me whether or not they've been able to run the GOG version of the game on Windows 8 64bit without any problems. Scbraddys review (the most recent) has me slightly worried.

Yeah, I"m not a fan of Anime or Manga or whatever... It's just too strange for my tastes. I know a few people who absolutely love it, so it's all a matter of taste.

However, if anyone does any trash-talk about Python, well...them's fighting words! ;)

^This...

+1 on the anime thing too. No offense to any of you that like it.
